Description

ld.exe: warning: changing start of section .heap by 4 bytes ld.exe: warning: changing start of section .stack_dummy by 4 bytes ld.exe: warning: changing start of section .heap by 4 bytes ld.exe: warning: changing start of section .stack_dummy by 4 bytes ld.exe: warning: changing start of section .heap by 4 bytes ld.exe: warning: changing start of section .stack_dummy by 4 bytes

I presume this isn't important, never the less, ideally something should be changed in the linker file to fix this.
